FAQs — the format AI cites.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)?

AEO structures your website — FAQs, Schema markup and entity signals — so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your business as the answer. With nearly half of searches now ending in an AI answer, SEO alone covers only half the market; AEO captures the other half.

How much does AEO + AI SEO cost in Melbourne?

Monthly plans are $688 (Starter), $988 (Growth) and $1,588 (Enterprise) — about half of typical Melbourne agency retainers of $1,500–$3,000/mo. One-off AI website builds run $1,588–$3,588 with unlimited pages.

What does the $99 AI audit include?

A full-site AI scorecard, a prioritised action list and a 30-minute strategy call. Sign any monthly plan and the $99 is fully credited to your first month — zero-risk entry.

How do you get my business cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?

We deploy site-wide Schema (LocalBusiness / Service / FAQ / Product), build question-formatted FAQs content that answer engines prefer to quote, add entity and knowledge-graph signals, then monitor AI citations monthly and iterate — live, on screen.

What’s the difference between AEO and traditional SEO?

SEO ranks you in Google’s blue links; AEO gets ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to name and cite your business directly inside their answers. SEO competes for “what position”; AEO competes for “whether AI mentions you at all.” Together they win both the traditional and the AI search entry points.

How long until AI starts citing my business?

The technical layer (Schema, FAQs, entity signals) is deployed and crawlable within 1–2 weeks; ChatGPT and Perplexity typically begin citing you within 2–6 weeks, and Google AI Overviews within 4–8 weeks depending on your industry. An AI-citation dashboard keeps progress visible in real time.

Which Melbourne industries benefit most from AEO?

Local service businesses gain the most — accounting & tax, cosmetic clinics, lawyers, renovations & trades, cafés & hospitality, real estate and more. Any industry where customers ask ChatGPT “who’s the best X in Melbourne” is one where AEO can make you the named answer.

How do you measure AEO results?

Three tracks: (1) AI-citation monitoring — whether and where ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI cite you for target questions; (2) traditional rankings and organic traffic (Google Search Console and rank tracking); (3) enquiries and conversions. One report a month, driven by data.

What’s included in the one-off AI website build?

For $1,588–$3,588 with unlimited pages, you get a site optimised for AI and SEO from the ground up: full Schema markup, a question-based FAQs architecture, entity and internal-link structure, mobile and speed optimisation, and optional bilingual (EN / 中文). It ships ready to be cited by AI.

Do I need a long-term contract? Can I cancel anytime?

Monthly plans have no lock-in — renew month to month, pause anytime. Start with a $99 full-site AI audit, credited in full to your first month when you sign — a zero-risk start. Continue only if you’re happy; the control is yours.

$99 AI SEO + FAQs scorecard audit.

Full-site AI scorecard + prioritised action list + 30-min strategy call. Sign any monthly plan and the $99 is fully credited to month one. Zero-risk entry.
